mention all of his accomplishments. That is why his biography, which is a product of his life, is replete with local, national, and international contributions. His accomplishments have a direct effect on the lives of people everywhere. He was born to serve.

He is from a large family and is from Cap Malheureux, which is located in the country's far north.

Life was exceedingly difficult back then due to little income, and Dassen personally experienced poverty and subpar living circumstances. Dassen was a perceptive young man who realized that education was the cornerstone of everyone's progress and betterment. After completing his education in his village, he continued his studies at Friendship College in Goodlands. In his Cambridge School Certification Examination, he did remarkably well. He continued on and was one of the first group of students to pursue a BA with Honors in Administration at the University of
